The copse is primarily composed of a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem.

The copse is home to a variety of wildlife, including numerous bird species such as woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds. Additionally, small mammals like squirrels, rabbits, and hedgehogs can be spotted meandering through the undergrowth. The copse provides a safe haven for these creatures, offering ample food and shelter.

Visitors to Plough Patch Copse are greeted by a network of well-maintained walking trails that wind through the woodland. These trails provide an excellent opportunity to explore the copse and immerse oneself in the tranquility of nature.

The copse is particularly enchanting during the spring and summer months when wildflowers blanket the forest floor, creating a vibrant carpet of colors. The scent of blooming flowers fills the air, adding to the copse's allure. Autumn brings a stunning display of foliage as the leaves change from vibrant greens to rich shades of red, orange, and gold.
